Palouse Heritage Purple Egyptian™ low gluten barley spread northward from the Middle East centuries ago to the arid regions east northeast of the Caspian Sea. The bran layer of this six-row hulless grain is glassy purplish-black and composed of the antioxidant anthocyanin and high beta-glucans that lower cholesterol. Palouse pioneering sisters Mary and Anna Barth (Bart) were raised on the Russian steppes and recalled camel rides along fields of this beautiful grain.

Purple Egyptian™ barley flour is known for a mellow, nut-like flavor with coffee undertones. It is ideal for muffins, scones, pancakes & flatbreads.
